INTRODUCTION:
 A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an
apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a
condominium.
 A RETIREMENT HOME
sometimes called an old people's
home or old age home, although old
people's home can also refer to a
nursing home is a multi-residence
housing facility intended for the
elderly.
 Typically, each person or couple in
the home has an apartment style room
or suite of rooms. Additional facilities
are provided within the building. This
can include facilities for meals,
gatherings, recreation activities, and
some form of health or hospice care.
The major problems which oldest people face are lack of economic
provisions, poor health conditions, lack of emotional support and illness in
the post retirement period. This state of affairs becomes a social economic
problem or issue as many people feel it is a problem. The problem of
inadequate income after retirement, loss of spouse or ample free time, poor
health, social isolation, were family relationship and physically and
financially dependency.
THE PROBLEM:
Fig.1 (Source – Google image)
NEED:
Lack of such services in unison. The elderly need inclusion in a space where
they are respected while children need to be guided and loved by an elderly
figure. Discourage begging and other things children may possibly retort to
in absence of shelter, food and a positive guidance in life

Site study for particular piece of land for its potentials. These potentials are
being considered so the design of building shall be in harmony with the
nature by taking into account all the resources. This study provides guidelines
for the development to be taken palace. For these reasons, a comprehensive
program for the project analysis has to be formulated which includes
identification of potentials and problems, site observation, natural factors, etc.
site analysis has to be on the relevant factors and their relationship. Such a
data provides a base on which the design will be made. Site conditions play a
vital role in designing solution for a site. A through site analysis is highly
essential for the design of built mass. Site analysis, the process of
analysing/understanding the existing site qualities, considering factors that
determine a site character, the purpose each factor serve & location of each
factor in some manner.
Factors that determine a sites character include Natural factors and manmade
factors.
Natural factors include water, vegetation, topography, orientation, climate
etc., whereas Man made factors include access, surrounding buildings,
services etc.
The various facts to be analysed can be studied under following heads:
 Location
 About the city
 Access
 Orientation
 Site area
 Climatic data
 Soil conditions
 Topography
 Vegetation
 Surroundings
 Constraints

SWOT ANALYSIS:
STRENGTH:
 All facilities like hospitals, airports, hotels, etc are located nearby site.
 The site is suitable for these types of projects, as it is distant from the
city which makes the area quite, comfortable, and site is surrounded
with greenery and garden areas such as parks.
 The project is feasible according to the site.
WEAKNESS:
 No direct road linkages to the site may confused the visitor’s.
 As the drainage near the site is beneficial, but the drain is open
which is dangerous to children's and just in front of the site which
create the foul smell around the site.
OPPORTUNITY:
 Can create a well design by various techniques.
THREAT:
 The site has to developed near undeveloped areas, which may reduce the
competitions and the demand will also reduced.
INFERENCES:
MERITS:-
 Site is situated at the adequate distance to metropolitan area of the city;
in a lush green area.
 It is very suitable for such type of project.
 The atmosphere is almost pollution free, peaceful.
 Site is in almost rectangular in shape which allows optimum use of land,
with minimum land wastage.
 Water table is low so we can construct basement.
 Proper drainage system.
 All facilities like hospitals, airports, hotels, etc are located nearby site.
DEMERITS:-
 The drainage system which is just in front of the site and open, which
creates foul smell around the site.
 Apart from the provision of two main road, The road network is not
good, site is not directly connected to the roads.
